Drawing Connections is a group of 25 artists who have chosen to work collaboratively through the medium of drawing as a way to challenge both their individual practices and study how artists communicate and collaborate. By confining their activities to drawing they hope to offer a new frontier that broadens expectations and understanding of what contemporary drawing can be and offer a platform for collaborative drawing in its expanded form

Microgravity is the condition in which people or objects appear to be weightless. MICROGRAPHITY – which can be read as an amalgamation of Microgravity and graphite – is a new term (born of an albeit accidental collaboration), which reflects on the collaborative nature of the group, and their resistance to any specific stance on what drawing ‘is’ or ‘could be’. Resonating with the groups position on the periphery of the art market and the accepted gallery system, – preferring a collaborative and supportive philosophy of shared communication and activity that brings about both individual and group development.
